Review: Hunter’s Heart by J.D. Tyler

A group of former Navy SEALS, the Alpha Pack is a top secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers combating the greatest dangers in the world. And when the battle gets personal, their wild side is unleashed….

Ryon Hunter sees dead people—spirits that beg him for help in ways he can’t understand. He’d do anything to end the torment, until a beautiful spirit appears to him with a plea he can’t ignore: Help me…I’m alive. The woman is wildlife biologist Daria Bradford, mortally wounded after encountering a white wolf, calling to Ryon through a rare Psy gift.

When Ryon locates Daria in the Shoshone National Park, it is almost too late, but nursing her back to health at the Alpha Pack compound brings a new complication—Daria is his destined mate, and Ryon is afraid of what will happen when she discovers what he is, and what he had to do to save her life. But the biggest threat of all is still loose in the forest, leaving a merciless trail of death behind it. The Alpha Pack goes on the hunt for the mysterious white wolf, determined to stop the murderous rogue… only to find that the most lethal creature of all is the one they can’t see coming.

Thoughts: When I first started reading this series I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. I mean I already had my favorite shifter stories and how could anyone top those. But I was very quickly drawn into this world that Tyler has created, I wanted needed to know what was going to happen next.

In Hunter’s Heart we discover just how Ryon’s SEAL team was turned into a shifter. I have to say it wasn’t what I was expecting, but it was one that intrigued me and kept me turning the pages.

The relationship between Ryon and Daria isn’t an easy one. While she’s attracted to him, she’s angry at him for biting her and changing her even if it was to save her life. When it’s explained to her that if he hadn’t he would have died as she’s his mate.

Overall I enjoyed the plot, pacing and romance of this book. One of the things I liked was the mystery surrounding the white wolf who bit Daria and Ryon’s boss. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
